There are many more. This man preserved and bottled an era with such accuracy and humor, that it is looked back upon with fondness by many.

Many have attempted to emulate his type writing, but none have succeeded. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is probably the most known of all the above movies. John Hughes had a talent for making the mundane and every-day, fun and even ridiculous. He wrote in a way the teenagers of the time could relate to.

With a few exceptions, his movies generally took place in various areas of Chicago, a place he was fond of.

This is one talent in Hollywood I will truly miss. To me, it's like the day Mel Blanc, my favorite voice talent, died. No one could never do what he did. John Hughes was the same, and I bundle him with the greats among history.

“Some Kind of Wonderful” and “Roxanne” are oddly close to my heart. I have been in the character “Watts'” and “Charlie’s”position more than once in my life. The only thing is I have not seen the happy ending. One funny thing is I helped a few guys write love letters to a woman (before I saw “Roxanne”) and they ended up marrying them! I used the same techniques of questioning that “Charlie” used when asking how they felt about them and I’d “translate” it into something romantic sounding. My buddies screamed, when they saw the movie, saying “That’s you!” I was given the nickname of “love doctor” back then.”Some Kind of Wonderful” was a very very personal movie for me. Just change the sexes of the two main characters (“Watts” and “Keith”) and that was me as Watts.
